Wish I'd known sooner.
Smoked a couple of resistors using my mini butane torch trying to read
the colors!

Subject: [Elecraft] Color code help?
Hi,
I just made a discovery today that might help others having
difficulty identifying color code bands on resistors and the
like...especially if you aren't working in natural lighting conditions.
Go buy one of those dinky LED torches and shine that on the
resistors....it makes the colors *really* stand out......far more so
than a "normal" torch.
FWIW
Cheers.......Ron ZL1TW
